Naked Magician Shows Howie Mandel His Magic Trick

On America’s Got Talent, judge Howie Mandel was assisting magician Vinny Grosso with a simple card trick when all of a sudden things got very naked. Grosso wanted to emphatically prove to Mandel that he was not wearing a wire after Mandel selected a card from his deck. Ripping off his magician tux and standing in his boxers was not enough, however, so Grosso got behind an appropriately placed screen to remove the final garment. With Mandel standing next to him, he asked him, “Am I wearing a wire?” Mandel responded, “No,” and “I can’t unsee that.”

Though Mandel confirmed that Grosso was definitely not wearing a wire, Tyra Banks wanted to make super sure there wasn’t anything up his sleeve, so she went to back of the stage to get an eyeful of where the screen was not.

With his eyes taped shut, a birthday-suited Grosso used his “superhuman sense of taste” to correctly guess Mandel’s card. Everyone was impressed, but Heidi Klum was a bit jealous, asking, “Why didn’t you pick Mel or I? I like to see things close up.”
